New York Mets Not Looking So Good

Topic

I’ve never really been interested in baseball. I’ve always been more of a basketball and football fan. However, my summer roommate was a die hard baseball fan, and I’m convinced that he brainwashed me into rooting for the New York Mets. Just a couple of weeks ago, someone told me he was a Phillies fan, and I let out a blech of disgust without even thinking about it.

So with the Mets’ most recent loss, I’m a bit disgruntled, and I’m sure my old roommate is pissed as can be. The Mets are no longer leading the Phillies for the number one spot in the NL east.

What better way to see how poorly the Mets are playing than with a graphic? I decided to compare this year’s Met season with the 1986 Met World Series winning season, because that should probably be what they’re shooting for. As my roommate would angrily exclaim, “If they can’t get their #%&$ act together, they don’t serve to go to the playoffs!”
